Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey senator, dies at 89

Below is an excerpt from the New York Times about 
this politician who created legislation that helped 
regulate the irresponsible side of drinking, smoking 
and guns.

"In 1989, he led a successful fight to ban smoking on 
all commercial airline flights. Mr. Lautenberg, once 
a two-pack-a-day smoker, told the Senate, "With this 
legislation, nonsmokers, including children and 
infants will be free from second hand smoke. Working 
flight attendants will avoid a hazard that has 
jeopardized their health and their jobs.""

Gov. Christie is expected to replace the five term 
Democratic senator with a member of the GOP.

Thanks for being the voice of reason, Senator.
